3 way in the AL central would be nice

I know the Jays are in for a tough year, but i'd be pretty surprised if they do worse than the Padres.

Anyone else notice the last place Angels at 76-86?

They have the division winner(s) at 80-82. I can't ever remember a division winner with a sub .500 record. Its almost impossible to do, with such a high number of divisional games.

Rays with the third-best projected record in the entire sport.......and out of the playoffs.

God I hate the AL East.

It looks like they're just projecting Pythagorean wins and losses from RS and RA.

 

[David Yudkin]

Heading into the regular season, they have the playoff teams as:

Boston 95-67

Oakland 83-79

Minnesota 81-81

Tampa Bay 92-70

Philadelphia 92-70

St. Louis 87-75

Colorado 86-76

Atllanta 86-76

The Cubs "over" is a gift.

It could happen if four or all five of the teams are bunched together and they all play about .500 ball against one another.The 1991 AL West was weird in that all seven teams were .500 or better. 11 of the 14 AL teams that year were .500 or better.
